Also working a bit on a few of these beautiful charted doily patternsLots of freebies HERE

I must confess although I am a seasoned crochet-er 😉 I have never attempted chart patterns! (I know, right!)

I hate to say that I found them to be a bit intimidating initially. Silly, I know! I think I may actually like these charts better than written patterns because they appear to be more precise. Sometimes written patterns have errors. Anywhooo this is my very first attempt at this chart thing. If things go well I will eventually share some updates.:)

Do you work from chart patterns? If so I’d love to hear your theory on this subject. :]

I too was wary of them and chose to start reading them from a book with both. Overall I prefer charts. It is easier to see where you are going and as there are many diff ways of writing patterns down for crochet it is less confusing.
